Default Gauge cluster, tail lights, day time running lights, and fogs dont work.

As the title says, none of those things function. Ive checked all the fuses in the driver footwell and under the hood. Whats the deal ?

Is there a switch or relay under the dash that controls all of these things?

the integrated control unit does control all of them, but i'm very surprised that there is no fuse blown...

if you look in the helms there is a flowchart for this problem, should be able to help you out

I'm not sure if this is true for Hondas or not, but, in a lot of cars, all lighting circuits are integrated through the headlight switch. Many times, a faulty headlight switch will cause problems like the one described. However, like I said, I'm not sure if this is true for Hondas or not.

found the culprit.

Looks like i lost the harness for the entire steering column. It fried just 1 prong on the end of the harness, but that would be enough to short the lights and everything else. Hope this fixes it or im going to get a new switch assembly.

I have a similar problem. My "small light" fuse is good too.

Check this link out. It makes alot of sense.

In my case, I wired up my JDM headlights to have the outer bulb as both bright and regular lights. The inner bulb usually used for brights, I hooked up as an axuillary light (100w H1 bulbs) and wired it from the corner light power and ground. How are your foglights wired? I'm starting to believe that drawing more power off the circuit for the corner lights without a switch/relay can really mess stuff up. I bought a new fuse box from a junkyard and I'm going to see if it fixes things.
